  • Introduction
    1 INTRODUCTION What is a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment? The JSNA is statutory process for Health & Wellbeing Boards (HWBB) to identify and improve the current and future health, wellbeing and social care needs of their area. The purpose is to inform strategic decision making, commissioning of services and reduce inequalities for all ages. There is no set format, prescribed content or specific time-period that a JSNA must cover, only that one must be produced in partnership with HWBB member organisations. For the 2019 JSNA, the Health & Wellbeing Board is using a ‘place-based’ approach for the suite of JSNA products which will look at issues and needs at smaller local geographies. These geographies serve as building blocks to satisfy the need for intelligence at local authority and NHS geographical area and include: • NHS/LA Locality/Neighbourhood Profiles • District/Borough Council Profiles • A Countywide Report • Specialist Topic Deep Dive Reports (ESCG to develop) This document presents data from a range of key topics which contribute to the overall the health and wellbeing of residents, in order to highlight areas of inequality and identify opportunities to improve the healthy lives for residents across the Essex County Council Local Authority area, with information also available separately for each of the 12 Districts and Boroughs where relevant. Key findings from this and the 12 individual Local Authority Profiles will be used to identify issues that the Health and Wellbeing Board may wish to consider when refreshing the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy. Notes of Terminology: This document uses the term Essex to refer to the Essex County Council local authority area which does not include the Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock unitary authority areas.

  • Tendring District Council’S Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’S Draft Recommendations
    APPENDIX B TENDRING DISTRICT COUNCIL’S RESPONSE TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND’S DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS This submission sets out Tendring District Council's response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England's draft recommendations on a new scheme of district council wards for Tendring. The Council has no further comment to make on the following proposed wards:- • Harwich and Kingsway – 1 Member • Dovercourt Bay – 1 Member • Dovercourt Tollgate – 1 Member • Dovercourt All Saints – 2 Members • Frinton – 2 Members • Kirby-Le-Soken and Hamford – 1 Member • Kirby Cross – 1 Member • Homelands – 1 Member • Walton – 1 Member • Brightlingsea – 3 Members • Thorpe, Beaumont and Great Holland – 1 Member • Stour Valley – 1 Member • The Oakleys and Wix – 1 Member With regard to the other proposed wards the Council's comments are as follows:- Parkeston As almost half of this proposed ward is in Dovercourt the Council believes that simply calling the ward 'Parkeston' will be misleading and will create confusion. As over 200 of the properties located in the Dovercourt part of the ward are on what is known as the 'Vines Estate' the Council suggests the name of Dovercourt Vines and Parkeston for this ward. The boundary and number of members would be as proposed in the LGBCE draft recommendations. Central and West Tendring The Council does not support the following proposed wards for the reasons given:- • St Osyth and Little Clacton - there are no community links between St Osyth and Point Clear and Little Clacton. These settlements are not in close proximity and there is no direct road joining them which makes communication between them difficult.
